SPECIFICATION forming par@ bf Letters Patent No. 283,19'1, dated August 14, 188s,

Application flied June 13, Issa. (No model.) l

To a/ZZ wiz/omit mfay concern: l

Be it known that l, FRANK BAYLIs, of Amenia, inthe county of Dutchess and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hay Distributers for Barns, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Refereneeis tolbe had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both iigures.

Figure l is a side elevation of my iniprovement, shown Vas applied to the frame of a barn. Fig. 2 is a sectional end elevation of the same, taken through the line a? Fig. l.

The object of this invention is 'to provide a simple, convenient', and effective means for distributing hay as it is discharged from a carrier 'into the outer4 parts of the mow.

The invention consists of an apron hinged at itslower part' to the beams of the barn by an iron rod7 andsupported at its upper part in an inclined position by Vbars attached. tothe rafters of the said barn, as will be hereinafter fully described.

A represents the posts, B the beams, G the plates, and D `the rafters, of an ordinary barn.

` ends, as may be desired E are two or more bars, to the opposite sides madeof such a length as to reach from'one beam B to the ncXt beam, and the bars E are lmow will be guided tothe side The `apron E F is sired inclination to the said apron E F.` In case the mow is wide and has a beam B over it, two aprons E F can be used, or the apron can be changed from one part of the rod G to 45 the other, as may be required.

l represents the track for the carrier J, by means of which the hay is raised from the `wagon and carried over and dropped into theY mow.l4 As the hayfalls from the carrier J 1t 5o the rod G as a hinge, as indicated in dotted 55 y lines in Fig.l 2, so as to project the hayto the other side of the mow. i

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent y l. A hay-distributer constructed substan- V6o tially as herein shown and described, and consisting of the apron E F, the hinging-rod G,

l and the supporting-bars H, as set forth. u

2. In a i hay-distributer, the combination7 y with the beams B and rafters D of a barn, of 65 the apron E F, the hinging-rod G, and the supporting-bars H, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby hay dropped from a carrier over the middle part of the said mow, as set forth.
